Pioneer Announces Five High-End Elite Receivers
Mon May 07, 2012 at 10:00 AM ETTags: Receivers, Pioneer, Pioneer Elite, 4K Passthrough (all tags)
Among them you'll find three 9.2 channel receivers and a pair that dish out 7.2.
Pioneer has announced five new Elite receivers for 2012, all of which are slated for availability in June. Though they range in price and feature sets, they all have a few things in common, like a more efficient amplifier that requires 44% less power than in the past. You'll also find control for three zones on all receivers, including a dedicated subwoofer output to zone 2. If that isn't enough, the SC-67 and SC-68 provide an extra HDMI output to a fourth zone.
The SC-65 and SC-67 are THX Select 2 Plus certified while the SC-68 is certified with THX Ultra 2 Plus. All three of these models offer true 4K passthrough for the time when that becomes a necessity. If music is more your thing, the SC-68 comes packed with a 192kHz/32-bit asynchronous USB DAC so you'll get superior quality out of your digital music.
Pricing will range from $1,000 for the 7.2 channel SC-61 while the SC-68 comes in at $2,500.

Yamaha Introduces a Pair of Network Receivers
Thu Apr 05, 2012 at 02:00 PM ETTags: Yamaha, Receivers (all tags)
Both offer AirPlay, YPAO system calibration and more.
Yamaha has revealed a pair of network receivers with identical feature sets, specs and front panel. The one difference between the $449 RX-V473 and the $549 RX-V573 is that one offers 7.1 channels of audio while the other gives 5.1. See if you can guess which is which.
On the new RX-V receivers you'll find the YPAO system built right in so that you can easily calibrate your system. They're also compatible with the Yamaha AV app which allows you to use your iOS or Android device to control your system, as well as a Kindle Fire if you prefer.
Both models are designed with a bit of future proofing in mind and offer 4K passthrough as well as 3D passthrough and an audio return channel.

NAD Releases New Receivers and Preamp/Processor
Wed Mar 28, 2012 at 12:00 PM ETTags: NAD, Receivers, Preamps (all tags)
Each of the components uses Modular Design Construction and focuses on making music sound the very best that it can.
The folks at NAD make receivers that are good for every purpose you can put a receiver to, but that doesn't mean they're generalists. You can watch movies and TV, but the primary focus of NAD's receivers and preamps is to make your music sound better than it ever has before.
Their $3,000 T 777 and $4,000 T 787 receivers achieve this by including a 24-bit/192kHz Burr Brown DAC and multiple high-power DSPs for optimal audio. You'll also find the EARS (Enhanced Ambience Retrieval System) mode which adds a bit of spacial ambience to stereo tracks.
The T 187 is the latest preamp/processor from the company and comes in at $3,000. Like the 777 and 787 it employs the Burr Brown DAC and the EARS audio system. It also gives you seven HDMI inputs, IP control, IR outputs, 12v triggers and an RS-232 port.
